Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The new one, that is... 'cos it actually adapts storylines from the original comics. As cute and funny as the '80s show was, it actually had almost nothing to do with the comics.

I've never watched any of the Batman/Superman/Spiderman etc. cartoons... probably should sometime, though.

I prefer the old TMNT. I know the more recent version of it is based more on the comic book, but my childhood was based around that show. I didn't even know it was a comic book until a couple months ago. I wasn't surprised when I found out though.

My favorite current comic-book based animated show is probably Teen Titans.

I honestly love it more when comics are made from shows/movies. The Incredibles rocked, so they made a 4-comic series of it. And one of the main reasons I still buy Disney Adventures magazine is for the occasional Incredibles mini-comics they feature.

I only made the distinction because the old show isn't really based on the comics. I love both equally, as my childhood was also quite infused with Turtles. The new show is miles better from animation and storywriting standpoints, but the nostalgia and cuteness can't be beaten.

Not to mention the old intro theme is much better; the new one is horrendous.

Yes it does. *shudders* I wouldn't even mind if they had taken the old theme song and jazzed it up.
